Leicester City discipline three players after hotel orgy

Leicester City send three players home from their tour of Thailand following reports of an orgy with a group of Thai women.

Leicester City have sent home three players who were allegedly involved in an orgy with a group of Thai women.

Footage of the incident was leaked by The Mirror which appears to show James Pearson, Tom Hopper and Adam Smith naked in a hotel room with local women.

A club statement said: "The Board of Leicester City Football Club is deeply concerned about an incident involving three of our young professionals during a recent trip to Thailand. Our players at every level are expected to behave as representatives and ambassadors for our Football Club, both on official Club duty and in their personal lives, so we treat their conduct extremely seriously.

"Following a preliminary meeting in consultation with the three players earlier today, the players involved in the incident are now returning to the UK, in advance of the rest of the squad.

"Tom Hopper, James Pearson and Adam Smith would like to convey their sincere apologies for their behaviour – to the women involved in the incident, to the Club and its owners, to the Club's fans and to their families.

"A formal process of investigation will be undertaken with the players in conjunction with their representatives and, as such, no further comment can be made at this stage.

"Leicester City remains wholly committed to promoting equality in football and in wider society and to our players recognising their responsibilities as role models to young people."

The club were in Thailand celebrating their Premier League survival.
